In this excerpt, Valery's point is that Leonardo could not have foreseen modern air warfare, in spite of all his inventions and innovations. This can be understood when the speaker mentions "We know that, mounted on his great swan (ilgrandeuccellosopra del dosso del suomagniocecero) he has other tasks in our day than fetching snow from the mountain peaks...", which can make the reader understand that Leonardo's could not have seen farther away than his own time.

Read the definitions.
NeX [460]

Answer:

He wrung as much water out of the towel as he could before hanging it up.

When she heard the news, she wrung her hands in frustration.

Explanation:

As given in the question, the definitions of the two words "rung" and "wrung" are different. While "rung" is a noun, the word "wrung" is a verb, which clearly shows their difference easily.

Now, the correct use of the verb "wrung" is found in sentences 1 and 2. In sentence 1, the transitive verb is used to refer to the act of extracting, squeezing out the excess water from the towel. Sentence 2 refers to the act of inflicting pain in oneself, like "she wrung her hands in frustration".

Thus, the correct answers are

<em>He wrung as much water out of the towel as he could before hanging it up. </em>

<em>When she heard the news, she wrung her hands in frustration.</em>
